Getting nice items autographed

[Texanmike02]

I've asked about it before but I simply will never be in town when there is a signing because I only go back for games and they don't usually have autograph signings when I am there.

My question is, if I have a few nice items (game day program and tickets from first playoff game) how can I send them and request that they get signed with some assurance that even if they aren't signed I will get them back. I want to put them in a shadow box and make them the center piece of my man cave (and put one of the tickets on my wall at work). Is this a pipe dream? Y'all know me, this isn't a "want to make money" kind of thing, this is a matter of pride for me. Any ideas? I really can't part with them because I was AT the game but having them signed would just be icing on the cake.
